"Created by AI, this recipe combines technology and taste for a modern twist on home cooking."

Kitchen Equipment Needed:

  1. Medium saucepan
  2. Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
  3. Candy thermometer (optional)
  4. 8×8 inch baking dish
  5. Parchment paper or aluminum foil
  6. Mixing bowl

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: Chopped nuts, marshmallows, or other mix-ins of your choice

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, whole milk, unsalted butter, and pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
  3. Cook the Fudge: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to cook the fudge, stirring frequently, until it reaches the soft ball stage on a candy thermometer (approximately 235°F or 118°C). If you don’t have a candy thermometer, you can test the fudge by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. It should form a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water.
  4. Add Flavorings: Once the fudge reaches the soft ball stage, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If desired, you can also stir in any additional mix-ins such as chopped nuts or marshmallows at this stage.
  5. Beat the Fudge: Transfer the hot fudge mixture to a mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, beat the fudge vigorously until it starts to thicken and lose its glossiness. This process can take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes, so be patient.
  6. Pour and Set: Once the fudge has thickened, quickly pour it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature until set, which can take several hours or overnight.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once the fudge has fully set, use the parchment paper or aluminum foil overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Transfer the fudge to a cutting board and slice it into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. Enjoy the rich and decadent flavors of Old Fashioned Fudge as a delightful treat any time of day.
